Re: Change Windows Desktop Picture

Nass, I respect your reply.

Yep it's true, I started my life in IT . I stayed there 3 years
becfore getting another job in the organisation earning a lot more
money. When people ask me why I left IT, I always reply "cos I wanted
a proper job".
From my experience, IT Depts are full of arrogant, unhelpful,
patronising a*rsh*les. I won''t go on.
Sadly, most people agree with me.
The solution to most IT problems seems to be "switch off your PC and
then switch it back on again".
Gosh, didn't think of that. Aren't you clever?
Actually, it's "Hey IT person, get off your a*rse, come over here and
fix the problem PERMANENTLY".

My original question was prompted by someone in IT seeing fit to put
up one of his own photo's as the background picture on everyone's PC.
It's multicouloured, blurred and obsures icons. It's ridiculous. We've
wasted hours talking about the problem. At what cost to the company?
What next? White text on a white background?
We've asked to have it changed. No joy. No surprise there.

Yes, I understand why IT have put a block on changing the backgrounds
but come on, be sensible!!!
All I want is a solid background.

Is there a simple solution without having to change the registry (or
getting into trouble!!!) ?
I promise to put up one of the backgrounds from Windows.

It's a shame that so many IT people ignore IT policies.
My mate got reprimanded for breaking the IT policy. Guess what, he was
IT Manager !!!

Cheers!!
